Although I only had him for 2 weeks, I grew very attached to this little guy. He was my very first betta, and he was such a spunky little guy! Whenever I came in, he would dart right over to the side of the tank and stare at me, flare at my fingers, etc. And he was pretty... such long, pretty crowntail fins with those gorgeous black spots that made him stand out. I know he is in a better place now, and free from his suffering... I only wish I'd had more time to spend with him in this world.

I will never forget you, Sheik. May you rest in your well-deserved heaven and know that you were loved.

Thank you jeremywadejunior. I'm hoping to get another betta soon, but I don't trust Petco. Luckily, I've found a couple aquarium specialty stores around the city and hopefully I can get a healthier betta from one of them. I'm really sad about Sheik, though... :(

Oh no, he didn't make it, I am soo sorry, I know how hard he was fighting, and I know what he meant to you..I missed the last post, after you were saying he had another bloating incident..I am feeling you pain..SIP lil Shiek..You are under the Rainbow Bridge now~
